3 screens on 5770

[soundfreaker]

Hey [H],

I just got a few questions, since the internet seems to giving me as many mixed signals as an ex-girlfriend.

What exactly would I need to do to get it hooked up, I have 2 monitors hooked up to it via DVI, and the third through a HDMI-to-DVI connector, I've read online that I'm going to need some kind of 100$ adapter...

I'm willing to do it, but I want to make sure before I cast the money out the window for that 3rd screen.

Thanks in advance!

if it is HDMI/DVI you need the $100 adapter

VGA on the other hand only needs $25 adapter.

Could you give me a name to this VGA adapter? I'll gladly take 25$ over 100$

Some people have reported intermittent screen blanking when using a DP->VGA adapter but they do usually work.

The HDMI is shared with DVI, so you have to do 2x DVI and 1x DP which is where people use the adapter.
